Ambition in Life vDk; bghJf;fl;Liu fPnH bfhLf;fg;gl;Ls;sJ.
MY AMBITION IN LIFE (or) THE PROFESSION I WOULD LIKE TO CHOOSE
Everyone should have some ambition in life. An ambition gives meanings and purpose to life
and the purpose give us a definite direction to ones life and induce and inspire him to make
efforts to achieve the purpose.
I would like to be a Doctor. My father is a partner in a firm of chartered accountants and
wants me to go in for a degree in accountancy and join him in his firm. But I have no aptitude.
So, I have made up my mind to be a doctor and my father, though displeased and reluctant at
first, has finally approved of my decision and wished me success in it.
I shall take my medical degree and then set up a dispensary in my village. There is a dire
dearth of medical facilities in villages. Many lives are lost for want of timely medical aid. I would
like to correct this dismal and disappointing picture as much as I can.
I shall never try to turn my noble profession into a money making business. My attitude
towards my patients will not be determined by their income or social status. I would never deny
treatment to anyone because he has no money, for poverty is not a crime. Service to the
sorrowing humanity will be my mission and I shall try to live up to it.
